Downtown Water Main Replacement FAQs
Project Map
See below for the map of the Downtown Water Main Replacement Project.
Will my street be closed?
Property owners will receive notice from the Contractor of driveway closings and information on alternative routes prior to the start of any construction.
How long will the road/lanes be closed?
Closures will depend on the weather and how much uninterrupted work the contractor can complete at a time. The City will send out press releases informing the public of any road/lane closures.
Where will this construction project be located?
The Contractor will start construction on a water main replacement between South Fannin & Milam Streets. This replacement is located in an alley and will extend from SW 1st to SW 3rd Avenue.
The contractor will then proceed to continue with utility work downtown, beginning with the sanitary sewer regrade that is in the alley between Johnson & Grant Streets. This regrade will extend from SE 7th Avenue to SE 8th Avenue.
What can I do to help make sure this project is a success?
Residents are strongly encouraged to obey the construction signs, stay alert, maintain safe speeds through the work zone and follow traffic control that is in place. Residents are asked to stay off closed lanes until they are reopened to traffic by the contractor. Please reduce speeds in these areas to protect you, workers and others from any hazard involved with construction.
What should I do if I have property damaged during/after construction?
Residents will need to provide evidence that their property has been damaged and that the damage was directly caused by the contractor, please notify the City’s Risk Management Department at 806-378-9300 or email at riskreports@amarillo.gov.
Will residential or commercial dumpster service be affected?
Dumpster services will not be interrupted but dumpsters may be relocated temporarily to accommodate construction and pickup by Solid Waste.
Will access to downtown or downtown events be affected?
Construction will be a far enough distance from event venues and/or be completed before any event can be affected. The Contractor and the City do not anticipate any disruptions to events but will be ready to coordinate as needed to minimize/prevent disruptions to future events.
Will water services be affected during construction?
There will be times where service will not be available. The Contractor will provide advanced notice to residents who will be affected when that time comes.
